Star Wars: Episode IX and Indy 5 Get Official Release Dates!
Earlier today, Disney and Lucasfilm announced the official theatrical release dates for the upcoming Star Wars: Episode IX (directed by Colin Trevorrow) as well as the fifth entry in the Indiana Jones franchise – and they may be coming sooner than you think!
(from starwars.com):
The Walt Disney Company and Lucasfilm announced today two major upcoming release dates.
Star Wars: Episode IX is now set for release on May 24, 2019. Directed by Colin Trevorrow, the film will close out the third Star Wars trilogy.
In addition, the fifth chapter of the Indiana Jones series is now confirmed for a July 10, 2020 release. Both Steven Spielberg, director of every Indiana Jones film, and star Harrison Ford will return.
So it looks like Star Wars may be moving away from the Christmas season after all and shooting for the more traditional release around Memorial Day. However, even though the next two films after The Last Jedi are coming out in May, that doesn’t necessarily mean that they all will.
Perhaps they are gearing up to follow Marvel Studios’ model to release more than one film a year. Or maybe those dates just make sense for where the movies are in production currently. What I do know is this – I can kiss my dread of that year and a half wait between the Han Solo movie and Episode IX that I thought was happening goodbye!
The fact that Episode IX will be bumping right up against the fourth Avengers film is a little perplexing though. Granted, although the fan bases cross over some, people burnt out on the superhero genre may find what their looking for with Star Wars, and even those who are are fans of both properties will probably make time to see them both anyway.
There are also three weeks between the two which will still give Avengers the room it needs to crush the box office in its opening few weeks. I doubt one will seriously affect the other in any negative sense.
I for one am also very excited for the next Indy film as well. We’ve seen Jones tackle Nazis and aliens – I’m hoping the next one will find him striking a more even balance between those two extremes. I would personally like to see a story connected to the Vietnam War in some way. And I hope I’m not alone in this…I really want to see Short Round make a return.

Indiana Jones and the raiders of the lost dentures. 😉
December 2017 – The Last Jedi, May 2018 – Han Solo Movie, May 2019 – Episode 9. 3 STAR WARS movies in 17 months, I’m in!!
I was really hoping the release of Colin Trevorrow’s awful-looking Book of Henry this summer would lead to him being fired, but I guess this schedule doesn’t lead a lot of room for that kind of situation. Oh well.
First get rid of Kathleen Kennedy. She was hellbent on having Trevorrow direct IX, for which even he said he has a ways to go as a director before he tackles a Star Wars movie. I guess Kennedy gave him an offer he ultimately couldn’t refu$e.
Kennedy is also the woman who hired Rian Johnson, the best writer/director ever handed a Star Wars movie. I wouldn’t let her go just yet.
Ep. 8 is not out yet, so it is too early to celebrate her decision on hiring him. She just might of lucked out with Rian by accident. Because I haven’t been too thrilled with her job as exec. producer so far..
Oh, I agree that hiring Trevorrow was exclusively based on the box office gross of his last film. I’m just saying that she’s clearly discerning, because she hired Johnson despite none of his films making more than $66 million in the US.
I guess the bottom line is that Ep. 8 and Ep. 9 turn out to be good.
I’m 100% with John DiLillo. Man… Trevorrow is non-sense for Star Wars and Jurassic World is the greatest example of a bad directed movie. The actors fail because of the director, the video-game like sequences with bad CG fail because of the director and so on. He can ruin this trilogy that had a good beginning and could get genuine in its middle chapter.
Edwards… Johnson… What in the world is J.A. Bayona doing in Jurassic World II? He should be directing Star Wars IX.
After 9 releases and it’s been a couple of years. I am genuinely interested in seeing how TFA holds up because everyone loves to hate on it online.
Not too good I imagine, I don’t know anyone irl who enjoys it outside of small children who have not seen the other films and if this site is any indication then the detractors seem to multiply with each year. This is a very common trend for Abrams produced/directed films though as in the case of Star Trek.
It’s very similar to the prequel films which were all much better received when they were still in theaters especially in regards to the one before it.
I like ROTS for the most part but even that gets hated on nearly as much TPM or AOTC by most today.
I think it will hold up better than the prequels though. A lot of people irl I know still enjoy it, but theyaren’t as excited over it as much as when it first released.
Maybe talk to someone other than small children?
JW was awesome and he did a great job.
Get rid of Kathleen Kennedy?!?! Arguably the greatest producer in the history of film making? The woman that delivered the highest grossing domestic movie of all time and followed it up a year later with another critically acclaimed billion dollar blockbuster? Maybe, juuuust maybe Kathleen Kennedy has some idea what she’s doing. Before anyone here questions her decision making they should look at her IMDB page and realize how many of their favorite movies she’s produced. It might just be that she has a better eye for talent than you do. Star Wars could not possibly be in more competent hands than those of Kathleen Kennedy.
“Arguably the greatest producer in the history of film making” Oh boy, you must be a hardcore Goonies fan…
You’re going to make me do this? Aside from Spielberg, who has a producer credit on all of the movies he’s directed, and Stan Lee, who isn’t really a producer, she is the highest grossing producer of all time. Here’s the short list….
Non-Spielberg Movies
========================
Poltergeist
Goonies
Gremlins
Back to the Future (I,II,III)
The Land Before Time
Arachnophobia
Cape Fear
Alive
The Bridges of Madison County
Twister
The Sith Sense
Signs
Seabiscuit
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Rogue One
Spielberg Movies
========================
E.T.
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
The Color Purple
Empire of the Sun
Jurassic Park
Schindler’s List
A.I.
War of the Worlds
Munich
Lincoln
P.S. I’m not a hardcore Goonies fan but yes, it is a damn good movie.
She with him since almost day 1 though, Pretty much rode his coattails to the top. She also did not write those films you listed.
That’s a moronic statement. She’s a producer not a writer! Spielberg didn’t write those movies either. You think Spielberg brings her back time and time again because she’s clinging to his coattails? He can literally work with anyone he wants and so can Robert Zemeckis, Clint Eastwood and Martin Scorsese. You really think that’s why George Lucas entrusted her with the Star Wars franchise and Bob Iger continues to employee her? Because of Spielberg’s coattails? Could it be that she’s a brilliant producer that knows how find talent and get a film made? Spielberg has worked with plenty of other producers. Why haven’t any of them seen the success that Kathleen has? Furthermore, if you’re not enjoying what she’s done with Star Wars, why are you here? Shouldn’t you be digging through an estate sale to preserve copies of the original trilogy of VHS?
“Pretty much rode his coattails to the top like Rodman with Jordan/Pippin.”
I like this statement b/c it means you have no idea what you are talking about, which means I can safely ignore anything you say. Thanks for saving me time!
George hand-picked her. Why would she step down when the films are wildly successful? Just because a few people on the internet don’t like her? That will always be the case no matter who they get.
No one in their right mind would want that.
I hope Indiana Jones 5 is at least decent
More like ancient.
yeah
I was liking the Christmas time release. Oh well. Back to the old ways then.
I thought 1 Star Wars movie a year was pushing it, but 2 a year is too much. Quality over quantity should be the route Disney takes.
I agree. It makes sense for Marvel because all of the story lines for each film are connected in some way. They will eventually culminate in a conclusion. They work kind of like a TV series in this way, so having them come out close to the one before is warranted. I’m hoping you’re right about Star Wars though as I think more than one a year would actually hurt the franchise.
I honestly think we’ll need to wait and see how they handle TLJ. A single film a year is a safe route. And really, Marvel’s strategy while so far it works, could backfire. I doubt it, because Feige is such a rarity in Hollywood where he has everything planned out and I wouldn’t think he would have done two films, if the company couldn’t manage it.
Kathleen Kennedy isn’t some newcommer and has experience. RO and TFA being two big victories, but something tells me she’s waiting to see how TLJ does,along with the Han Solo anthology film. Basically, she’s taking her time. Which is good.
episode 9 is the only star wars movie released in 2019
I know, but this article brought up the possibility that Disney might release 2 Star Wars movie a year like the Marvel movies.
Given their production ways, quantity does not preclude quality.
Harrison Ford will be 78 when this is released.
I wonder if the movie will reflect his age the way Crystal Skull more-or-less did. Meaning that the movie would take place in the ’60s whereas KOTS took place in the ’50s. Not sure if I’m too crazy about that idea. Lets hope Indy5 really means something..
Um, it reflected his age to an extent, Ford has always played younger, especially with Indy. In Raiders he played 36, but was actually 39, by KOTCS he was 66, playing 57.
But I think with increasing age, it gets harder to pull off.
No one, loves Ford as Indy more than me, but I think they should go the way of the Solo Movie and re-cast.
The whole Chris Pratt thing was such a good idea.
Indiana Jones and the Tomb of Alexander should be the theme or mcguffin.
I just wonder what they do have in mind, whether is some idiotic thing about mayans or aztecs or eastern cultures.
I hope Indiana Jones returns to his globetrotting ways, because we didn’t get much of that in KOTC.
I was not excited when they announced VII would be released at Christmas, but now that i like it they’ve moved back to May. I was really enjoying the holiday season releases. Hopefully they’ll move back to Christmas time at some point in the future.
Well, I for one, like Star Wars being moved back to the summer. I grew up with Star Wars movies being released in the summer. There is just something special about Star Wars kicking off the summer movie season.
Avengers 4 will be kicking off summer 2019, though. Come to think of it, isn’t there a high risk of those two films cannibalizing each other.
They’re 3 weeks apart. By then A4 will have made, like, 80% of its box office. They’ll both be fine.
Meh, I still worry. Even if Avengers 4 has made most of its box office, it’ll (at the least) lose theaters to Episode IX. I’d hate to take a way its last bit of thunder.
I LOVE Star Wars. The annual wait kills me every time. And yet, I don’t think it’s wise to release more than a Star Wars film each year.
I don’t see a problem as long as they keep the main saga films well-spaced. No matter how many spinoffs we have to fill in gaps, people will always have ample time to anticipate how the timeline will move forward in two or three years. Besides, having a Star Wars TV series doesn’t ruin how we enjoy the films. Just think of the spinoffs as serving the same purpose, just on a much larger budget.
I think Indy 5 is opening the same weekend, or plus/minus 1 weekend, against Avatar 2.
That’s if Avatar 2 isn’t delayed again.
They have Avatar sequels coming out Christmas time which could be a little bit of moving it to Memorial day again along with the traditional timing.
I think it was inevitable that Star Wars would switch back to its traditional Memorial Day weekend release date. Remember, TFA was originally announced for a May 2015 release, until J.J. went to the suits and laid his “Are you f*cking KIDDING ME with this?!” riff on them and got the release date backed up to Christmas of 2015.
But I think the traditional May release schedule was always what they were looking to do, and I think they just made the shift back to that as soon as they could manage it.
Personally, I think they may end up doing even better box office with a May release. Christmas is nice and all, but they get about a week of business before everyone is wrapped up in holiday craziness, on top of which in most areas the weather usually sucks the entire time the film is out. The May release, on the other hand, gets the movie out just in time for a three-day weekend, and then people get to go see the thing all summer (or, at least, for a bunch of the summer.)
So IMHO, it makes perfect sense for them to get back to releasing new SW movies over Memorial Day like they always did.
That actually makes sense. I do think that LucasFilm wanted to corner the Christmas market as a means to maximize on profits as well as the fact that minus a lot of Christmas movies, not a lot of big releases came out.
However, let’s be honest; this is SWs. Intrinsically, the property has a ton of value. Most people will see it. So memorial day weekend is a very viable option as it can compete. As for Abrams, I had a feeling that was the case.
Maybe, TFA could have been better had he had time in my view. Really, I knew that he had wanted to push the movie to January. And the final act is very indicative of that. Oh, well. While I trust Rian Johnson, I do hope Colin Trevorrow can handle this change.
He’s a fairly good director, JW not taken into consideration.
Weather is great during the winter where I live. Summer gets hot, but few places have perfect weather year-round. Either way, I don’t think the temperature should be a deciding factor on when a Star Wars movie gets released. Because whether it’s unbearably hot or unbearably cold outside – the movie theater can provide a nice refuge either way. And that refuge might draw people in…
Ha. The last few Decembers have been crazily expensive for me and the family, so I’d welcome a return to the ‘traditional SW release date’ of May…. :o)
Harrison Ford is going to be close to 78 (!) years old when Indian Jones comes out. I think the boulder is going to win in this time, you guys.
I’ll take any Indiana Jones story as long as it has Harrison Ford. And I reckon they’d be able to make his age work for the film. In fact, it’s probably easier for them to make a compelling story when they’re not going back and forth on Harrison’s physicality. That is assuming of course they’re going for a Last Crusade approach. They’ll inevitably pass the torch down to a new actor. I wonder who…
Your ideal choice? I’d like to see Chris Pratt or Bradley Cooper. The latter probably seems like an odd choice but I thInk he’d fit in the universe quite well.
Crystal Skull was an awful movie in my view. Though, it had some interesting concepts. As for passing the torch, that’s what they need to do. Harrison Ford is old. And as such, it would be better to see a successor. Pratt is charming as well as Cooper, but really I am open to a lot of people.
Indiana Jones, is one of those concepts that is timeless in that it has a pulpy feel to it. This being it is an adventure. So I hope that the next film seeks to remember that. Because, Crystal Skull almost got it, and then it went too crazy.
Indy shouldn’t go past the 50’s, I think the fifties was way too un-Indy like and the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles proved this by setting him in modern times. Remember the character WAS born in 1899.
Problem I think is that the world in the latter half of the 20th century got much, much smaller, with far fewer dark, unknown corners of the map. I loved butting the imagery of Indy up against a nuclear test – it was a perfect visual metaphor for that wild, damn the torpedoes spirit of adventure represented by the 20s and 30s confronting a new world of science and certainty. Indy just doesn’t belong in that world.
I reckon Bradley Cooper would fit the bill well. Question is will he play an older Mutt? (I think that was his name).
Bradley Cooper is already 42 himself. Hardly a spring chicken.
True – but then Ford was 39 I think playing Indy in Raiders.
Bradley Cooper, who was perfect for face in the A Team, ain’t no Indiana Jones.
Maybe Indy fathered another kid with Willie. Played by Chris Pratt!
Wouldn’t Alden Ehrenreich be the logical choice?
Careful..the dark side is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be..unnatural.
Then I guess we should expect a Blade Runner prequel with Alden Ehrenreich as a younger Rick Deckard.
Um, apples and oranges, I am aware that he is not going to redo every Harrison Ford role, but the ones from the same frikking company (Disney) maybe, duh
Seems just a bit disrespectful – like HF is a product, not an actor, and LFL can just ‘replace him with another one’.
I’m with you, if it were up to me, no recasts ever, make NEW things
Pratt, as likeable as he is, and as much fun as he is to watch, doesn’t have..I’m not sure I can find the right word…the same impression of intelligence? He gets to try some of those moments in Jurassic World, and whereas HF would look like the wheels are turning quickly, Pratt just looks like he has gas.
Yeah, he’s too goofy, I think it’s the mouth and the voice.
I hope they start shooting Indy V soon.
I guess this means that Indy is Snoke.
Hold on a second….so Short Round – who was a CHINESE orphan, might make an appearance in an Indy movie set during the Vietnam War because…..why? Because to Westerners, Chinese and Vietnamese is close enough? Is Short Round going to be a Chinese Communist actively supporting the Viet Cong? In which case, he would be an enemy to the American cause and probably at odds with Indy (the most logical scenario – unless Indy has embraced Communism in his old age). I am in no way Asian, but I am somewhat aware of history – and this comment makes absolutely no sense. Really not a well thought out statement.
This read more like an editorial (or a wish list) than an actual article
Why can’t the author hope the next movie is connected to Vietnam War AND also hope to see Short Round again (since he hasn’t made an appearance since TOD)?
Why in your mind must those two things be connected?
Come on, the way it’s phrased makes it sound like the Vietnam War is the reason Indy and Short Round reunite – and would be a major plot element of the movie. Let’s not be naive. If that’s not what he meant, I strongly believe he should have phrased it differently.
“I would personally like to see a story connected to the Vietnam War in some way. And I hope I’m not alone in this…I really want to see Short Round make a return.”
Like other’s have said, this reads more like a wishlist than a “because A then B”.
But if you think the author is an ignorant racist, just come out and say it.
So then tell me how the Vietnam War works into the equation at all. If he wants Indy and Short Round to reunite, why did he mention the Vietnam War to begin with? They could reunite for any conceivable reason….
Looks like your the only one who read that into it.
They are two separate thoughts. “I want to see a Vietnam era movie.”
AND
“I want to see Short Round again.”
Moving on.
Why aren’t more people interrigent rike you. You must be so ronery, so ronery and sadry arone.
And I guess to address your last statement, yes – when it comes to some things (in this case nationality and history) I do think the author is ignorant. But, that does not mean I think he is racist. One does not always equal the other.
That’s a a stretch. I didnt read it that way at all.
Jet Li as Short Round. Destiny.
This is exactly what I meant.
This reads like you are just looking for reasons to bitch and complain.
Ok, I accept that. Not what I intended. But I still feel my arguments are valid. Nobody has to like it, but that’s kind of what a message board is for – posting opinions that not everyone will agree with. I was providing historic evidence why one of the author’s points seemed a little off. In my opinion, Chinese and Vietnamese are not the same thing, just as American and Australian are not the same thing. Are there similarities? Of course. But let’s not make it seem like everyone from a certain ethnic group is pretty much identical. I didn’t consider it “bitching,” more just calling out the author on what I thought was a poor statement in his post. And I stand by it…
Um… No. You are making a ridiculous insinuation. The time line works for Vietnam to come in to play. And I just always liked Short Round. Therefore I want to see him come back. The two statements were intended to be read independently of one another.
It’s not a ridiculous insinuation. I think it’s all in the way a person reads it in his/her head. When I read it, the “And I hope I’m not alone in this….” really seemed tied back to the previous sentence of “I would personally like to see a story connected to the Vietnam War in some way.” If the following sentence was just “And I really want to see Short Round make a return,” then I think we’re all in agreement. But to me – and I can only speak for myself – it reads very differently.
To me it seemed odd that someone would read it that way since he’s Chinese. But I understand what you mean. Anyways, I just like the character and I would like to see him again. 🙂
And remember he would be an adult now.
Unless he’s been frozen in carbonite.
Yeah sorry, I guess I read it differently than you intended. I guess now I can see what you meant. I think this is why it seems pretty easy for arguments to escalate quickly online – without having the ability to HEAR how someone says something we can easily make our own conclusions as to what they meant – right or wrong. It looks like I was guilty of that in this case…
You were just expressing your opinion. I just didn’t want that opinion to be that I’m ignorant about the history of those involved or that I was insinuating that since SR was Asian that it would somehow make sense for him to show up in Vietnam. The timeline and Harrison’s age works for Vietnam to come into play in some way. And, on another note (lol) I really want to see Short Round make a come back.
The actor IS Vietnamese though.
How ironic…
Just relax until something if officially announced?
Im hoping we eventually get to the point of 2 Star Wars films per year.
May and December seems like the best amount of distance between two films for marketing etc.
I feel the reason they have Han Solo releasing in May after TLJ is a way to test if there would be a “fatigue” in Star Wars interest.
I personally dont think there would be. Only a couple of months after TFA we were all starting focus on Rogue One.
I feel we could get to the point were a SOLO anthology film and a Triology film could be released each year.
By triology film I mean films like the TFA and TLJ which are all chapters in laregr story. I would also think they could do an Old Republic Triology (I dont think it would be wise to push that into a single film, nor do I feel it could be made of a TV budget, unless it were animated like CW or Rebels).
It’s hard to get excited about something that’s become normal. Two movies a year is extreme. One a year is okay, but after a few years I hope they’ll slow down from that even. You definitely can have too much of a good thing.
As much as I understand the argument that it’ll suck we have to wait two years for each standalone/saga film as they flip flop, I think it would be way too much. We have to also consider that between movies, there is a lot of star wars canon to fill our pallets like Rebels, books, comics, and games. So imagine all that extra stuff plus two movies a year? I don’t think I’d have time in my life for any other fandom!
While I agree we are getting to a saturation point (I wanted to keep on track with the canon books but there is far too much coming out and quite frankly there are some I have no interest in reading). I dont think two films per year would add to that. The difference between films/tvshows and books is that books take often days to to read which requires alot of your time. A film is essentially just 2hrs out of your life.
it’s a super short absorption time, but look at how much the last jedi news we’re chatting about on this site and how many discussions popped up post-movies. Movies add sooo much to the canon that it honestly takes awhile to sift through them ya know? (Plus, as a star wars fan I watch the movies multiple times in theater so that 2 hours can at least be bumped up to 6 or 8 XD)
Thats pretty sweet. Are they done writing Episode IX? With the possibility of the writers strike, as the WGA voted to do it if a deal isn’t reached by May 2nd, the film could be delayed if screenplay isn’t finished. Depending on the length of the strike.
You would think this would be announced AFTER the May 2nd deadline, just to be cautious.
I think its about a couple things; letting studios know they are willing to strike so possibly negotiations can get serious, trying to get public support for said strike, and to prepare the logistics of their possible strike.
Edit: Nevermind, I just realized you meant Disney should have waited to make the announcement, right? I’m dumb. haha
Only a 18 month wait between The Last Jedi and Episode IX [Like]
Star Wars returning to its May time-slot [Like]
Indy 5 [Not really bothered about]
Don’t forget, Han Solo comes out May 2018. so only 6 months to the star wars fix after TLJ
Very true.
I approve of this, Waiting in line for a SW film in the dead of winter flat out sucked balls.
However, I also question the financial wisdom of it too considering it will cut into the profits of their MCU and animated films. Yeah, Star Wars is critic proof but TFA and R1 cleaned up so well due to only having Oscar bait shit as competition that literally no one saw.
As for Indy, Vietnam is waaaayyyy too controversial for the series even nearly half a century after it ended. I would go with Chinese Communists except unlike the USSR the regime is still around and China is pretty much keeping Hollywood afloat in 2017 which is why you will never see them as the villains in any major studio film. Iron Man 3 anyone?
I just hope it’s better than Indy 4 but with Ford having lost his marbles, I have a feeling it will be more of a meta humor wankfest in the vein of TFA, Wouldn’t be surprised at all if Orci, Kurtzman, Lindeloff, etc. got the job either.
Who waits in line anymore?
Lol and outside?
“with Ford having lost his marbles”
???????
Sounds good to me. By the way, they’ve just unearthed an interview showing that Mark Hamill knew about the prequel trilogy and that he would come back to play a Dad in a sequel trilogy, back in 1983..
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/star-wars-did-mark-hamill-ruin-last-jedi-twist-interview-997160
This. https://youtu.be/4UGV7WVB-bA
No, its actually not that interview, it was with Gene Siskell for a 1983 CBS feature on ROTJ. I’ve included the link.
That story has been around since…1983. And was recirculated in 2012 and 2015 and 2016 and now again. And nothing in it gives any clues about the new movies.
Now I’m concerned about Star Wars destroying the Godzilla sequel, which also has a 2019 schedule date after getting delayed from its original 2018 release, at the box office.
https://youtu.be/4UGV7WVB-bA
Excited is not the word. Oh man, can’t wait to see new stories from those sagas. Although Skull is no as good as the others, it has great Indy moments (the first 45 minutes are pure Indy). I love to see that hat, whip and costume, searching antiquities around the world. Certainly, i prefer a “normal” indy movie than any modern blockbuster without charismatic atcors and empty scripts. I Spielberg really needs this. A little bored of his last movies. Nowadays there are great directors telling better stories.
Eh no, Spielberg does not really need a new Indiana Jones movie. Bridge of Spies, Lincoln and War Horse were all superb.
I understand you like it of course, was just my opinion. Probably Lincoln and War horse are well done but Spileberg last stories don’t have the feeling of his most beloved films of his filmography (being a little pretentious, with no emotion, again just me, and I am a Spielberg fan). People don’t talk so much about his films (like Villeneuve, Nolan, or sagas like SW or Marvel) that’s why i said He needs this. And I think he also needs Ready Player One to be a success. Sincerely, i actually prefer movies from Mackenzie, Refn, Edgar Wright, Nichols, Cohen brothers, Reichhardt, Iñarritu or some others with great debuts. Since KOCS i was not excited about his films. Probably i need this more than him ;P But yes, i can’t wait.
I’m happier about this. With the secrecy around the Star Wars movies being so high, it meant Christmas toy releases were limited. Now I’ll be able to buy millions of toys for myse- I mean my kids at Christmas!
Please dont let Lucas write the script. He lost his movie making powers after he wrote The Last Crusade. Just watch the Star Wars Prequels and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Actually on second thoughts dont watch them.
